Governor John Carney has ordered Delaware flags to be lowered to half-staff at all state facilities on Saturday, July 13, 2024, to honor former State Senator Dorinda “Dori” Connor on the day of her interment.

“Tracey and I were saddened to hear of the loss of Dori Connor. Dori and her husband Bob were quite a team – working together to better greater New Castle for decades. They were respected educators and legislators. They worked to make government more transparent and responsive to the concerns of ordinary people. As a Delaware State Senator, Dori was a champion of people with disabilities and victims of crimes. She represented all her constituents well. She always had a big smile and a pleasant word for everyone she worked with. Her spirit and goodwill will be missed. Our thoughts go out to Dori’s sons and friends during this difficult time.”
